[PATCH 1/2] qemu: caps: Add capability for dynamic 'auto-read-only' support for files

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Initial implementation of 'auto-read-only' didn't reopen the backing
files when needed. For '-blockdev' to work we need to be able to tel
qemu to open a file read-only and change it during blockjobs as we label
backing chains with a sVirt label which does not allow writing. The
dynamic auto-read-only supports this as it reopens files when writing
is demanded.

Add a capability to detect that the posix file based backends support
the dynamic part.
